About this listen
The last thing half-fae, half-demon Ringmaster Seven needs is to hold someone captive in his bedroom, no matter how attractive he finds the young man. It’s been ten years since Seven fled the fae courts and found sanctuary in the human realm. He will do anything to protect his circus and found family. So, when Seven wakes up to find a beautiful yet feral creature straddling him and reeking of faerie magic, his only option is to bind the little minx and deal with him later.
Time is running out for Indy. It’s been almost ten years since Indy was cursed. His only hope of breaking the magic is to find his fated mate or lose his human form forever. Seeing no other choice, Indy travels with a magical circus of paranormal creatures. Only, when Indy momentarily gets his human form back, he’s more concerned about getting revenge on the Ringmaster rather than finding love.
Can Sev help Indy break this curse before it’s too late, or will he die trying?
The Ringmaster is an enemies-to-lovers, fated mates, paranormal MM romance. It is part of the Black Cat Circus multi-author series that features found family and a magical cast of characters. Each book can be listened to as a standalone but is better enjoyed as a series.

After moving back to his hometown to help his dad with the family bookstore, recent grad Rory Doyle is in desperate need of fun. So he puts himself up for auction on a dating app hoping to catch someone’s eye. A free three day vacation courtesy of the dating app sounds like just the antidote to his lousy mood. He and a sexy stranger could get up to something fun. Everyone thinks Jacob Rodgers is scary. He’s a mechanic close to seven feet tall, but he thinks it’s the beard that covers old scars and tattoos down his neck that have people scurrying away everywhere he goes.

Devlin “Dev” Espinosa lives in the shadows of the criminal underworld. As a Ferryman, his job is to safely transport “the dead” to their new lives, no questions asked. With no one to answer to, lots of cash, and access to The Anonymous–an exclusive club for the elite–Dev is loving life. Until Remy Corbin gets into his car. Remy is just a regular guy working a regular bartending job. At least, that’s what he thought before walking in on his boss taking someone out. Witnessing the assassination paints a target on Remy’s back, and when the bullets fly, he jumps into a stranger’s car.

Adam is not having a good day. First, he finds out his very long-time boyfriend has been having an affair. Then, his dramatic exit becomes a little too dramatic when he ends up dead. To top it off, he finds out that the afterlife isn't at all what he expected (he has no desire to learn to play the harp, thank you very much). Fortunately for him, some afterlife bureaucratic screw-up ends him up with the most smoking-hot demon he's ever seen, and he decides he's keeping him. Maybe the afterlife won't be so bad after all.

A thousand years ago, my great-something uncle founded the Collective, a secret organization dedicated to protecting humanity from demons. The hunter tradition has been passed down over the generations, from parent to child, secure in the knowledge that the Collective is a community of safety and knowledge. But betrayal sucks, and six years ago, it turned my world—and the Collective—upside down. After generations of deception, the hunters left behind are picking up the pieces and trying something we’ve never done before—working side by side with our enemy.

Story
Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Sometimes I want to punch that smirk off Atlas McCallister's pretty face. He's cocky. A troublemaker. A pain. And, unfortunately, my stepbrother. We've been fire and kerosene since our parents got together, and to keep from exploding into fistfights, we've used challenges, dares, and bets to battle out our differences. Our past bets have been a little inappropriate—scandalous, even—but Atlas's latest bet has gone too far. Do I really believe if he loses, my straight stepbrother is gonna mess around with a guy? And not just any guy: me, his rival and nemesis?

I'm a gay preacher with more tattoos than sense and more notches on my bedpost than years in the ministry. You've heard of those romances where the priest is seduced by the worldly outsider? Yeah, this isn't that. I'm also not totally settled on the existence of God. Call me a skeptic, but when you work with abandoned and abused teenagers, you tend to have a few questions for anyone calling themselves divine.

The Ringmaster and his Little Not-Human
1st person, past tense, dual POV
Indy (32), cursed human / (Peanut the cat in the BCC)
Seven, half-fae, half-demon Ringmaster of the BCC
Audio, narrated by Zachary Zaba - 4.5 Stars
After listening to [book:The Aerialist|123010675] I just had to roll right into Peanut's story and Whispersynced the audiobook right away.
Usually I'm not the biggest fan of a single narrator (or the same narrators) doing an entire series and then listening to them back-to-back as I have a difficult time getting into the new characters and not hearing them as the MCs of the previous book. I did not have that issue here at all. Once I hit play on <i>The Ringmaster</i> Indy and Sev came to life and I never even caught echoes of Bri and/or Zander (unless they were talking). The narrator absolutely imbued each character with their own distinct voice, making it extremely easy to get sucked into the story and keep track of events and POVs. As I've said before, it usually takes me a chapter to get into this narrator's style, but once I'm there I enjoy the narration immensely.
Story - 3.5 stars
While the books in this series CAN be read as standalones, they do feature a core group of characters that appear in each others stories and Peanut (Indy) and Bri's stories are intertwined more closely than the rest of the series so I would recommend reading them together at the very least if you aren't going to read the rest of the series. For my part I listened to [book:The Daredevil|123005039] a few months ago, ARC read all of season 2, skipped <i>The Firedancer</i> (for the moment), and just listened to <i>The Aerialist</i> and <i>The Ringmaster</i> back-to-back so I've done some bouncing around and had fun doing so, I'm usually more methodical with my reading.
While I did enjoy this story a great deal, it felt like the author got distracted with irrelevant worldbuilding and side characters then rushed the actual story and relationship building, which ruined my enjoyment. As if setting up more of the BCC for future romance wasn't enough, the whole war in Faerie and the Goblin Market and their respective cast of characters got page time that would, in my opinion, have been better served by further exploring Indy and Sev's connection, and figuring out how to fully lift Indy's curse and reunite him with the brother he hasn't seen in the past decade. By the time these areas are brought into focus, their resolutions felt a little slap dash and suffered from a whole lot of telling rather than showing with a lot of missing context that would have made for a richer story.
Still, I enjoyed the story, I loved the continued relationship between Bri and Peanut, seeing glimpses of the previous couples, seeing Indy and Sev dance around each other a bit trying to decide whether to trust one another as their hearts and minds warred with one another. The hints of shibari, praise kink, etc were fun and it would have been fun to have seen it be more developed. Sev's charater arc in coming to terms with his demon side was particularly well done and I adored Indy's role in that.
No regrets in buying and listening to it.
